@kraz3yivan.bsky.social I'm thinking of starting my own beginner grade upscale of Voyager DVDs as a project. I don't really have the hardware to realistically upscale so could you recommend any of the AI cloud based options or would it work out crazy expensive?

We thought Reform UK was all about cutting costs?🤔 Green Party group leader Jonathan Chilvers: “Their claim to voters was that they would cut ‘wasteful’ council spending, and yet their very first proposal does the exact opposite.“ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC tries to discover whether the 90% of wealthy non-doms who are still in the UK will be able to pay the poorest 10p to dodge tax. Zia Yusuf: "These people are already fleeing." Vicki Young: "But lots of them haven't fled." Zia Yusuf: "Well, a lot of them are." UTTERLY, COMICALLY CLUELESS. 😂😭 ~AA

You won't find an emptier suit outside of a department store. Hard to think of a major world leader this devoid of conviction and courage. Never really seen anything like it. It's like they discovered a new political quality called antileadership or something.

Phone footage appears to contradict Israeli account of killing of Gaza paramedics
Israel says soldiers fired on ‘terrorists’ in ‘suspicious vehicles’ but footage shows clearly marked ambulances using flashing emergency lights Mobile phone footage of the last moments of some of the 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers killed by Israeli forces in an incident in Gaza last month appears to contradict the version of events put forward by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The five-minute video, which the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said on Saturday was recovered from the phone of one of the men killed, appears to have been filmed from inside a moving vehicle, and shows a red fire engine and clearly marked ambulances driving at night, using headlights and flashing emergency lights.

Explaining in Five Paragraphs the Scam Donald Trump Just Pulled on 150 Million American TikTok Users
Make no mistake, one of the most popular apps in the world was just down in the U.S. for 14 hours because Donald Trump ordered that it be taken down. Why? So he could be seen as a hero in “saving” it.
